Coupling between a Weyl semimetal and a nontopological metal

چکیده
We study the effects of tunneling between a Weyl semimetal (WSM) and simple parabolic band. When coupled to nonmagnetic band, interface two exhibits main phenomena. First, WSM's chiral arc state lowers in energy, second, previously extended WSM becomes localized is lowered energy. Together these surface bound states create new closed orbit momentum space, noticeable spin-dependent asymmetry spectrum vicinity nodes appears. with lattice model that we solve numerically on finite sample analytically using an Ansatz infinite sample. Our agrees very well numerical simulation as it accurately describes behavior state, from its energy spin rotation at interface. find effectively increases Fermi length, allowing for presence beyond bare nodes. These additional may carry current along interface, their contribution can be detected conductance. In addition conductivity, effect metal seen quantum oscillation experiments, which briefly address.

متن کاملWeyl semimetal in a topological insulator multilayer.
We propose a simple realization of the three-dimensional (3D) Weyl semimetal phase, utilizing a multilayer structure, composed of identical thin films of a magnetically doped 3D topological insulator, separated by ordinary-insulator spacer layers. We show that the phase diagram of this system contains a Weyl semimetal phase of the simplest possible kind, with only two Dirac nodes of opposite ch...
متن کاملA Weyl Fermion semimetal with surface Fermi arcs in the transition metal monopnictide TaAs class
Weyl fermions are massless chiral fermions that play an important role in quantum field theory but have never been observed as fundamental particles. A Weyl semimetal is an unusual crystal that hosts Weyl fermions as quasiparticle excitations and features Fermi arcs on its surface. Such a semimetal not only provides a condensed matter realization of the anomalies in quantum field theories but a...
متن کاملNew type of Weyl semimetal with quadratic double Weyl fermions.
Weyl semimetals have attracted worldwide attention due to their wide range of exotic properties predicted in theories. The experimental realization had remained elusive for a long time despite much effort. Very recently, the first Weyl semimetal has been discovered in an inversion-breaking, stoichiometric solid TaAs. So far, the TaAs class remains the only Weyl semimetal available in real mater...
متن کاملUniversal optical conductivity of a disordered Weyl semimetal
Topological Weyl semimetals, besides manifesting chiral anomaly, can also accommodate a disorder-driven unconventional quantum phase transition into a metallic phase. A fundamentally and practically important question in this regard concerns an experimentally measurable quantity that can clearly distinguish these two phases. We show that the optical conductivity while serving this purpose can a...
